NHS doc mistakenly operated on wrong side of woman's body

NHS doc mistakenly operated on wrong side of woman's body A mother is suing the NHS after a surgeon operated on the wrong side of her body and potentially damaged a healthy kidney.

Lauren Hodgson, 29, was due to undergo a minor operation to remove a stone in her left kidney at Milton Keynes Hospital in March.
